After his clear election victory last week, right-wing populist Geert Wilders nominated a member of his own party, Gom van Strien, as a scout. He would start discussions with the group leaders on Monday. It is now unclear what will happen next with the formation of a government.
This weekend it became known that the politician’s former employer had already filed a fraud complaint against him in the spring. Van Strien denied the accusations, but resigned on Monday.
Wilders won 37 of the 150 parliamentary seats with his radical right Party for Freedom (PVV). He now wants to form a coalition with the center party NSC and the right-liberal VVD of outgoing Prime Minister Mark Rutte. However, the VVD has already rejected participation in the government.
In the Netherlands, a scout is traditionally hired after elections to explore the possibility of a coalition. He speaks to all groups. Only then will substantive negotiations between the parties begin. (SDA)
